Animal Attacks

Responsibility for dog bites and other animal attacks in BC

Dog bites and other personal injuries from animal attacks can leave life-long physical and psychological scars on the victim. BC law states that if the owner knows that a dog or animal may be dangerous (for example, a past biting incident), then the owner can be held liable for injuries resulting from the animal’s actions. Animal attacks are usually covered by the animal owner’s home insurance, so it is very important to determine ownership and the circumstances of the attack. Our team at Warnett Hallen will investigate the incident and the history of the animal and its owners in order to build a solid case for care and compensation.

If you or your child have experienced trauma and injury from an animal attack or bite, tell us your story – we can help.

Our goal is to evaluate and work to determine the extent of physical and emotional injuries suffered in an accident, ensure the best treatment possible for recovery, and prepare a strong case for maximum compensation.
